Nobody is perfect but veterans are expected to at least be positively consistent. If we cut OUR mistakes in half we would be looking at 5-2 record. That being said lets turn it around and finish the season 6-1, squeek into the playoffs and shock the world with our 7th SB win.
If Ben cut his mistakes in half or made half the plays he's capable of making, he could have overcome everything and this is a 7-0 team. It's almost like when Tommy Maddox went bad after his injury. It feels like something happened to Ben and we lost the old Ben forever.
